CibbuanoGround wasn't up to standard: Barry
May 19th 2008 03:46
THE playing surface at ANZ Stadium was 'a bit shifty' for Sydney's clash against Essendon yesterday according to Swans defender Leo Barry.
Speaking at the Swans recovery session on Monday, Barry said the ground was not up to its usual standards.
But despite his criticism over the playing surface, Barry didn't blame the state of the ground for the knee injury sustained by hard-running defender Tadhg Kennelly.
"I think he just, in the tackle, he got hit really hard into the ground," Barry said.
"But yeah the surface was a bit shifty."
"I know (the grass) was a bit longer because of the (Rugby) League (match played on Saturday night)," Barry said.
"But yeah it was a bit more shifty than what we're normally used to out there."
